Tuna Melts

By Kathryn Washburn Breighner

This has been a stand by in our house for years. It is simple, tasty and always surprises a first-time diner at our table. It is basically just a lightly dressed tuna salad--not heavy on the mayonnaise--mounded on an English muffin, topped with cheese and put under the broiler for a minute or two. This not only tastes great but looks appetizing. These ingredients will make 4 tuna melts and uses 1 can of tuna so multiply by what you need:

1 can tuna, drained (I always use Albacore in water)
3 T mayonnaise
2 T minced green onion
2 t snipped fresh dill (from my Aerogarden at the moment)
salt and pepper to taste
2 English muffins, split
Grated cheese--your choice of kinds!

Mix the tuna, mayo, onion, dill, salt and pepper. Mound on the English muffin halves. Top with grated cheese and broil for 3-4 minutes until the cheese begins to bubble and brown.
